Canon PowerShot S60

Canon PowerShot S60 for sale, no one expected. Most experts believed that the potential of the S-series cameras is fully implemented. But Canon has once again confirmed its reputation as the world-renowned creative company. So, let us greet Canon PowerShot S60. This camera should oust the leader in this category, Canon PowerShot S50.

At this time the developers did not increase the number of megapixels sensor, and fundamentally altered the optics chamber to make it more wide. And changed the location of the controls, almost all of the buttons moved to the rear panel. Changed and he set the controls. Now the button «Play» and more responsible for the functions of "Shoot" and "View." Unlike the previous model in S60 on the screen is the zoom scale. Button for quick printing lets you print your photos or transfer them to your computer with one click. The joystick allows you to control the mode menu "Play" and "shooting" as well as manage your aperture and shutter speed. All changes take place in the menu box, pressing »Set» or «Func», which hides the menu from the screen. Like the previous model has a button «MF» for manual focusing. Also use this button, you can determine the distance to the subject matter and remove the marked photos in playback mode. I advise you to still pay attention to the excellent online organizer.


The new design S60 compares favorably with his predecessor's ergonomics. The camera has become more rounded in shape, become thinner. The changes undergone and the underside of the camera. Now open the battery cover does not interfere with a tripod. Significantly increase the capacity of the battery NB-2LH, the bundled, with 570 mAh, like the S50, 720 mAh, which leads to about 200 shots. Charging the battery NB-2LH 1 hour 20 minutes.


Given all completed technical and design solutions, Canon PowerShot S60 camera to take a leading place in the line of the S-series cameras by Canon.

Apple posted record earnings report for the first quarter of 2012

Thus, it is time to summarize. At least, the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and made with great pomp Corporation Apple, reporting record earnings of over $ 46 billion.

As can be seen from the resulting numbers kupertinskaya team feels fine and is ready to conquer new heights: The company set a record, "generating a" in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 46.33 billion, of which 13.06 billion - net profit. In this last number is a whole half year profit of the company (if we talk about the profit for last year). Speaking of last year - for the same period of 2011 Apple was only 26.74 billion revenue ($ 6 billion and profit, respectively), which is less than half this year.


In general, for the first fiscal quarter of this year the company sold 15.4 million tablets iPad, 15,4 million media players and iPod 5.2 million, "Macs."


By the way, the amount realized "Mac" remarkably increased over the same period last year, when speak more accurately - as much as 26 percent, that does not comply with some traditional "flat" graphics market growth of stationary PCs. Even Apple TV content with record sales - 1.4 million consoles, it's no joke?


But the most significant increase, of course, has shown divisions in smartphones. Apple was able to realize for the first quarter of 2012 as much as 37 million "iPhones", but it's a 128 percent increase over the same period last year!


In other words, the giant apple surpassed in this respect, all the analysts' expectations (and perhaps even their own). Apple now confidently back on a solid leadership position, sending its main rival - the company Samsung - back to second place (Samsung, by the way, in the first quarter and has sold an impressive number of smart phones - 35 million, to be precise).


Thus, half (24.4 billion) of total revenue Apple received from sales of this phone, the iPhone and accessories. Indeed, Apple argues that the second quarter would be too "hot", not as much as the first, but still better than last year due to "some new devices" in the lines of the company's products ...

AOC Aire Pro LED Monitor Review

AOC’s Aire Pro LED monitor provides a good entry point to screens that are nice to look at whether they are powered on or off. The extremely thin screen (less than ten millimeters thick) is quickly noticed for taking up only a small amount of depth while still offering a picture that is clear and comfortable. The 23” display keeps pace with larger, more expensive monitors, outputting a bright, clear, high-resolution picture that won’t set you back more than a couple hundred dollars.

With 2 HDMI ports, a VGA out, a 3.5 mm jack for audio, and just five buttons located on the monitor’s base, the Aire Pro’s angle is clearly minimalism, and it pulls that off very well. The lighting is subtle, the monitor is light-weight, easily transportable and a snap to reposition to fit your needs on your own desk surface. One aspect where I think this design betrays the overall aim of the monitor is that because all of the power, volume, and menu buttons are located on the monitor’s base, which is a silvery near-circle about six inches in diameter and an inch thick, the monitor can’t detach from the base. You have to have enough room for the base and mounting the screen is not an option whatsoever.

Other than that, the AOC Aire Pro LED performs as sharply as it looks. With a 50,000,000:1 contrast ratio, native 1920×1080 widescreen resolution, and backlit screen, one of the biggest perks about this monitor is how sharp it looks from all but the most extreme viewing angles. I was able to move all about my room and the picture quality stayed consistent no matter where I went, making this an ideal display for presentations or family or party viewing. Even when dealing with careful timing during precise gaming, the 5 ms refresh rate didn’t leave me disappointed – a sticking point I have whenever I’m looking into displays.

I was disappointed but not surprised by the quality of the monitor’s on-board speakers, in that they leave a great deal to be desired. Without hooking up any additional equipment, the sound is fuzzy, with highs too high and almost no bass to speak of. The second HDMI port can be put to use with high-end sound systems, but anything else is going to have to sacrifice at least a little audio quality using the 3.5 mm jack instead.

One of the features advertised on the box that may give some consumers, particularly gamers, cause for alarm is that the Aire Pro LED uses in-plane switching. However, the Aire Pro has no ghosting issues, almost no motion blur whatsoever, and really I can’t say anything bad about its use for any application you might put it to. Purists may protest, and sure there is room for improvement in the overall display, but for the price and the size, it’s pretty hard to argue against this display.

Editor’s Rating

Great

Bottom Line: The AOC Aire Pro LED is competitively priced for somebody looking for a quality display that’s not too big or too flashy. As such, it’s not really going to compare to larger, high-end monitors, and it’s easy to see where the extra cost goes sometimes. Still, this is a great monitor for your average desktop user, and I found it very handy to carry around and set up at parties or gatherings for gaming thanks to its slim build and low weight. The Aire Pro isn’t perfect, but finds a comfortable balance between affordability, portability, and usability.

Pros:

• Backlit LED makes the picture pop out and look sharp regardless of most viewing angles
• Ultra slim design fits nicely onto desks or dressers without taking up a good deal of space
• 2 HDMI ports make this unit good as a multimedia center for both computers and personal media devices

Cons:

• Since controls are attached to base, mounting the screen is not an option
• Onboard speakers are tinny and aren’t really worth the addition
• HDMI ports and 3.5 mm jacks only exclude any optical-based audio solutions

The AOC Aire Pro 23” LED Monitor is available from Amazon for $197.57.

AirDroid lets you control your Android device with your PC

Let me tell you about this app I’ve been playing around over the weekend. For the longest time, I’ve been looking for something that would let me send and receive SMS messages on my HTC phone using my desktop PC without any cables. Then I heard of AirDroid, a free app that allows you to control your Android device via WiFi.

How does it work?

With AirDroid, all you need to do is simply download the app, make sure your device and PC/laptop are in the same wireless network, start the app and you’re good to go. No need to download a desktop client, all you need is your web browser. AirDroid will give you an IP address and password that you need to enter on your browser so you can access the phone.

The web client looks really simple and nice, and it’s so easy to use. You can control various aspects of your phone from this client.

Probably the most helpful function to me is Messages where I can send and receive messages on my browser even when my phone is in another room charging. I can also delete message threads and save contacts straight from the message as well. My only issue here is that you won’t be alerted when there’s a new message. You need to refresh your message list if you think you got a new message.

I also love Files which lets me access my phone’s SD card from my PC. No need to Dropbox files if I want to copy things to and from my phone. And I don’t need to pull my USB cable from the charger just to copy photos off the phone.

Contacts is also helpful because it lets me edit my list of contact’s details. Easier to manage and clean up my list of contacts on a bigger screen with options in just a single click. It’s not as snappy as I want it though especially if you have plenty of contacts.

Music transfer is so easy as well. No need for cables. If you want to upload, just select your new MP3s and click Import to start transferring. Easy to export too if you want to download songs from your Android device to your friend’s PC.

Apps lets you manually install .APKs (app installer files) on your phone. Or export your APKs.  This is really useful for reviewers. I always download the same things from the Market every time I have a new Android device to review. With Apps, I can just install my set of apps wirelessly from my laptop.

There are other handy things you can do with AirDroid, you can access Photos, Call Logs, set Ringtones, and send a piece of text into your phone’s clipboard and they’re working on new features as we speak.

Overall, it’s a very useful app for Android users who spend a lot of time on their PCs or laptops. You can hide the phone inside your desk or in my case, have it placed outside our room where signal is much stronger so I won’t miss a call or a message.

Go ahead and give AirDroid a try. It’s absolutely free. Go search for it in the Android Market.
